Hello all!
Been a while - had a lot going on, work, family etc. Finally proposed to the missus in Dam! All booked up for next August.
Built a new grow room in the loft, finally made the switch to HPS from CFL - sorted proper extraction, filter etc. all vented into the chimney stack. 4 in there at the moment. Bubba Yum, Krippleberry, Big Bag and Custard Cream. All in soil, 12ltr pots. Will hopefully get a diary up soon.
Anyway, that's not the main reason I'm back on here...
A friend of ours was recently diagnosed with 'Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer'. She has since had other tests and has been told the cancer is metastic and has spread to her ribs and some of her lymph nodes. She has started chemotherapy but is keen to start an RSO treatment.
She's 29, a mother to 2 children - one of whom is only a few months old. They genuinely are the nicest couple ever - life is an absolute cunt!
I've done a bit of research on RSO in the past as I was going to make a couple batches of RSO to put away should someone close to me get sick - so I have some knowledge on the stuff. Been reading up on Rick Simpson, the testimonies etc.
I'm pretty certain I can make this stuff! I've got an half decent set up now - can maintain temps, proper lights etc. Grown a fair few plants now so I can confidently turn out decent bud each grow. I grow organically which is ideal for medical grade RSO, I understand. Curing can be a pain in the arse but a cure isn't required for medical RSO - just dry the shit out of it. Probably looking to have 6-8 plants going perpetually to make this.
From what I've seen and read, an ideal strain for making RSO that can target cancer cells would be a pure Indica. I also understand that where CBD is the cannabinoid capable of helping those with chronic pain, suffering seizures etc., THC is the cannabinoid that has been shown capable of targeting cancer cells. So at the moment, in terms of which strain to grow - I've been looking for a pure Indica with the highest THC content possible. Strains I've looked at are,
Humboldt Seeds - Bubba Kush (Pure Indica, 19 to 24% THC) Bubba Kush 2.0 (Pure Indica, 24% THC), Dr Krippling Incredible Bulk, for the yield aspect.
I'll be mooching about the existing posts and might ask a few questions of my own. If anyone has any posts etc. they can point me in the direction of, it would be greatly appreciated.
I know Chewy used to be the man to speak to about this but I see he's no longer around, which is a shame. Any new Doc's in the Talk?
Thanks people!
